At this time, Shen Qi had already entered the palace. Seeing the token, no one dared to delay him. This was the prince's golden token. Seeing the token was like seeing the person. So far, the prince had only given it to the Grand Tutor.
The whole journey through the palace was smooth. Shen Qi bowed to the prince as soon as he saw him. "The Grand Tutor was being hunted down, and he ordered me to report to your Highness that something was wrong with the wife of Prince Ling. Please send people to surround the Prince Ling's mansion and capture everyone. The Grand Tutor said that if she made a mistake in the final judgment, she would let him be dealt with as he pleased."
The prince could no longer sit still, "How is the Grand Tutor?"
"When I left, the Grand Tutor was surrounded by dozens of people, and there were only two people protecting him." Thinking of the last scene he saw, Shen Qi's heart trembled, and he bowed his head, "Your Highness, please send someone to rescue him immediately."
The prince slammed the table fiercely, "Your Majesty is so bold, even if you really caught the wrong person, I will take the responsibility. Send an order to the Seven Constellations to rush to the rescue immediately and make sure to bring the Grand Tutor back intact."
"yes."
The prince lowered his head and quickly wrote a line of words, then stamped it with his own seal, "Give it to Fu Gang, and tell him to arrest everyone in Prince Ling's mansion immediately. Don't let anyone go, including Prince Ling."
"yes."
The prince's eyes could no longer conceal his sharpness, "Laifu, go and report this to Grandmother in person. There is no need to hide anything."
Lai Fu bowed and left. The prince was really well taught by the Grand Tutor. Aren't all the estrangements and misunderstandings caused by you not saying anything and me not saying anything? If everything is said, where would those things come from? The prince is so open, the queen mother is only happy. In this royal family, private affairs are ranked after justice. In the face of the overall situation, no one can be an exception. The queen mother understands this principle better than anyone else.
The prince came out from behind the imperial desk, stared at Shen Qi and asked, "Master, do you have anything else to say?"
Shen Qi fell to the ground, not daring to hide anything. "The Grand Tutor asked me to find a way to notify the Grand Tutor to enter the palace. She was worried that you would lose your balance. The place was close to a shop in my home, so I asked the steward to go there."
The prince clenched his hands in his sleeves. Even if his life was threatened, he would still care about whether he could stay stable. There would never be anyone who would treat him better than the Grand Tutor.
At this time, Hua Zhi was already in great danger.
The other side had a large number of people, and no matter how powerful the three of them were, they could not withstand it. Jia Yang and Hua Zhi had been surrounded by the enemy, and there were four or five people on the roof who were besieging Yu Mu. Everyone was covered in blood, and they didn't know whether it was the enemy's or their own.
After Yu Mu dealt with the enemy's archers, he wandered around the roof, shooting arrows whenever he got the chance, but the arrows were limited after all, and now he only had two arrows left.
Jia Yang's whip gradually became weak, Hua Zhi's strength had reached its limit, and the three of them were almost at the end of their rope.
"Tell Yu Mu to come down."
Jia Yang blew a whistle, and Yu Mu immediately dropped from the roof and returned to the two of them, once again forming a defensive posture with three people as the corner.
"Jia Yang, try to use your long whip to wrap around Yu Mu and swing him out. Yu Mu, you hold the sword and kill the enemy. Jia Yang, you need to pull it back quickly, otherwise Yu Mu will get hurt. Is it possible?"
Jia Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "We can give it a try."
"I'll take care of the nearby ones. Get ready and start."
The three of them moved at the same time, turning defense into offense and attacking the enemy. Yu Mu swung his weapon like a cannonball. The first time, the coordination was not good enough. Jia Yang retracted the whip too quickly, and the long sword was pulled back before it could penetrate the flesh. Hua Zhi took advantage of the enemy's distraction and succeeded. The dagger stabbed deeply into the heart of the person closest to her. When she pulled back, her hands were shaking, not because of fear, but because her hands were weak.
But she had no way out.
"continue."
The cooperation was better the second time. Yu Mu brought back a life and Hua Zhi also succeeded.
But when the opponent was on guard, Yu Mu still had several directions to go, but Hua Zhi was not so easy to succeed. She was stabbed before she could kill another person.
"Young lady." Jia Yang didn't care about hierarchy and immediately pulled her under his whip. "You can deal with the attackers here."
But even so, the three of them didn't hold out for long, as Yu Mu was hit in the chest with a knife and his defensive stance was broken.
Looking at Yu Mu, whose chest was bloodshot but whose face was pale, and the enemy was already tightening the encirclement, Hua Zhi suddenly laughed, "We managed to survive last time, I wonder if we will be so lucky this time."
"You'll be fine." Jia Yang and Yu Mu exchanged a glance. Yu Mu understood and his sword-holding hand gradually steadied. Jia Yang tightened the whip in his hand and suddenly swung it to force the enemy back. Then, unexpectedly, he rolled the whip towards Hua Zhi and sent her to the roof with his clever strength. "Hurry up!"
The enemy wanted to chase, but Yu Mu tried his best to stop them. The retracted whip also arrived at this time, and he forcibly stopped the pursuit.
Hua Zhi didn't want to leave. She knew that if she left, neither of them would survive. But she had to go!
The two men sent her away at the cost of their lives not to let her go back to die, so she gritted her teeth and slid towards the roof. When she reached the bottom, she grabbed a corner of the eaves and pushed herself to the bottom before letting go. She then used the force to roll to relieve the impact, and thanks to the protection of the Bodhisattva, her leg was not broken, and she quickly ran out of the alley.
Her chest felt like it was on fire, and her breathing sounded like a broken old bellows. She felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to run into the enemy and launch a suicide attack. But no, no, that wouldn't be enough, not enough!
She would beat them all back to their grandmother's house, and they would never be able to enter the country again, and they would never be able to threaten the people around her again. She would make them pay back for every life lost around her, one hundred or one thousand times!
Something slipped from the corner of her eyes and splashed somewhere with the wind. She would not let those two people down, she would definitely survive!
The noisy sound seemed to be right behind my ears, and in front of me was a dead end.
The dead end couldn't stop her. Hua Zhi gritted her teeth and was about to flip over the side. She didn't care whether she still had the strength left or not. She only knew that she couldn't die here!
She had been through so much, experienced so many difficulties, she couldn't die in such a worthless way in her second life.
At this moment, the door next to her suddenly opened a crack, and a man in a long gown waved at her desperately even though he was obviously extremely nervous. He was a scholar.
Hua Zhi glanced at him, then turned back to look back the way she came. She was injured and there was blood on the ground. If she entered the house...
With a gesture, she walked to the end of the alley, wiped the wound, and then printed the blood on the wall bit by bit, making a scene of flipping over from here. Then she took off her bloody shoes, endured the pain and wiped all the bleeding places to leave no traces. Only then did she enter the house.
Before closing the door, she took another look, and only felt relieved when she was sure that there was no trace left. She sat down on the ground and struggled to put on her shoes.
There were two middle-aged people and two children in the room at this time. They all looked at her with some fear. She could even imagine that they would disagree before the young student opened the door.
